I'm One

I've had a very exciting past couple weeks so that is why I didn't post after my last doctor's appointment. In case you didn't know I turned 1 on the 12th and I had a party just a couple days later with my family. My daddy got sick at the beginning of the week and he gave it to me and Zoe. Zoe didn't get it too bad, but I was not good. I had a fever and coughing and runny nose. Mommy and Daddy called the on-call doctor one night because it got higher, but they gave me Tylenol and a bath and it went down. I liked the bath part they can do that more often. My mommy got the cold after my birthday party on saturday and she ended up staying home from work after she took me to the doctor on Monday. I was feeling better so I stayed with Gramma and Papa and let Mommy have some rest.
For my birthday there were lots of people, some gifts. I just crawled around the room and put my snotty nose on everyone, climbed on a couple of boxes and was just generally cute. I then got a cupcake with a candle on top. Mommy and Zoe blew it out for me and then they gave it to me. All for me and I was allowed to do whatever I wanted with it. I stuck my finger in the icing and then my hair. Eventually I figured out how to eat it and it was all over my face. I had to take another bath before I went to bed.
And finally I had to go to the doctor. I got measured, weighed and poked. I now weigh 23 pounds 5 ounces, I'm 30-1/2" long (still not tall yet), and my head is 19" around. The doctor checked me out and he got to see me standing some too. I had to show off some. I was well enough to get some shots. Yippee. And since I was already getting shots my mommy added in a regular flu shot for me as well. So I got 2 in one leg, 1 in the other, 1 in each arm and my toe got stuck for two tests.
I now say some words that only mommy and daddy can understand, but I have some words in my vocabulary that everyone can understand
Doggies say - "oof oof"
"bye bye"
"Bup" (for up)
I'll have some more pictures to share soon and I hear that Thanksgiving is coming soon. I'm looking forward to that. You know all the food. All is well in my life if there is food and my blankie.
